Pig Update

On Saturday we weighed our pigs. By the way, I named my little pig Kira. Kira-Kira means sparkling in Japanese, so I thought I'd name my pig that. This is how they weighed out:
Leah: 81.4
Kira: 50.2
Junior: 127 (WOW)
Cheyenne: 46.6

We already know that Junior is already half the weight he's supposed to be in august and that he needs to go on a diet very badly. We've already thought we might need to get a different pig if he keeps growing at this rate. He grew 24 lbs. last week when he should've only only gained14.

PIGGIES!!!!!!!!!!

On Monday, we got to go pick out our pigs. I had already told myself that I would only get black pigs because they look nicer. I had also told myself that I wanted a girl because they tend to be better show pigs. There were only four big pigs left for the Grant County Fair, so we didn't quite get pick of the litter. For Grant I got a black with white pig, she was the only girl of the four and also the only one with black on her.She looks similar to the pig on the right.Lindsey's Grant pig is the brother to my pig, but he is GIANT and a blue speckled. For the Adams County Fair, we got to pick from about a dozen pigs. Mine and Lindsey's are almost identical black with a white stripe from the front leg halfway across the back. They are both girls and are adorable. we will be getting them probably next Monday.
